For goodness sake. When are you going to stop criticising my whole life strategy and philosophy?

Just joking. I’m still listening and learning from you.

To be balanced, I'm not referring to relationships with serious abuse and issues where it is imperative to get out for your (or your kids) safety or sanity.<br/><br/>Just imagine though, in ordinary everyday relationships, if people really committed and refused to bail out just because "I'm bored with this", "I'm not enjoying our relationship anymore", "this is not working/too hard", "I found a better/easier option", "I just want to feel good for a while" yada yada yada... probably very similar to the reasons people give for not going to their gym anymore.<br/><br/>And what if people took the same approach with their faith... when the going gets tough, when life "happens" to you while you were making other plans, and all the questions and answers don't fit into neat little boxes anymore?<br/><br/>Hmmm, sticking it out when the going gets tough and dealing with the REAL issues, not just the surface stuff... there's a novel idea.

True! You’re right! I don’t always like that though! But I’ll get over it and over myself. I definitely commit to that!

On a similar train of thought, can you imagine how much better our society and the kids in our society would do if BOTH partners in a marriage/committed relationship would take this approach? To be balanced, I’m not referring to relationships with serious abuse and issues where it is imperative to get out for your (or your kids) safety or sanity.

Just imagine though, in ordinary everyday relationships, if people really committed and refused to bail out just because “I’m bored with this”, “I’m not enjoying our relationship anymore”, “this is not working/too hard”, “I found a better/easier option”, “I just want to feel good for a while” yada yada yada… probably very similar to the reasons people give for not going to their gym anymore.

And what if people took the same approach with their faith… when the going gets tough, when life “happens” to you while you were making other plans, and all the questions and answers don’t fit into neat little boxes anymore?

Hmmm, sticking it out when the going gets tough and dealing with the REAL issues, not just the surface stuff… there’s a novel idea. Might be a bit uncomfortable for a while… not sure I can commit to that… have I told you I had a really tough childhood?…

Thanks, as always Craig. ( )

Until people realize that the "buck stops here", they will never change. Like you said they will want to change and they may even start to change, but they will never actually change until they are forced to do so. Until they are so uncomfortable that they must change in order to be comfortable again.<br/><br/>Hey buddy I am going to add your blog to my blogroll - you've got the "real stuff".<br/><br/><a HREF="http://www.soupornuts.com" REL="nofollow">Chris - soupornuts.com</a> Craig,

I just got back from a big writers conference and was trying to figure out how to schedule the changes I wanted to make. I am now changing my "I hope I can" and "I want to try" into "This is what I WILL do." Mindset is everything! Thanks for a terrific article.
